A Spire Case Study
PredictWind, a provider of high-quality ocean forecasts for the maritime sporting and leisure community, sought to deliver the best possible wind predictions to its customers. To meet this challenge, the company tested several global weather models, including those from Spire, to assess which could provide the most accurate wind speed and direction forecasts.
Spire's solution was tested in an objective, in-market study comparing actual wind observations to various weather models. The results ranked Spire's model as #1 for overall accuracy in both wind speed and wind direction prediction. This was achieved through Spire's unique satellite constellation data, which offers a comprehensive and unbiased global data set with high vertical resolution, leading to more accurate short and medium-term forecasts for PredictWind's users.
